His cooperation with Gary was actually very pleasant. On one hand, he was the head of the arms trade and could sell a large number of goblin arms to Ellington at critical moments. On the other hand, he was the president of the Ellington branch of the Star Diamond Bank.
The Star Diamond Bank was rich and overbearing!
When doing business with a rich person, there was no doubt that the efficiency of using money was top-notch.
However, Tang En did not expect Gary to be so efficient.
Not long after they announced their cooperation, Victor's incident happened. He thought that it would affect the cooperation between both sides.
He did not expect Gary to wave his hand and proudly say that there was no force in Prandal that dared to stop the business of the Star Diamond Bank. Now it seemed that it was true.
Under the golden name of the Star Diamond Bank (Dragons), the construction team was almost unhindered and unthreatened. There was not even a single daemon. The construction team had the help of Dragons. Which daemon would be crazy enough to attack a Dragon?
Therefore, in just a short month, Gary led the excited goblin construction team to pave the asphalt road from Ellington to Bein. However, because of the conflict between Tang En and Girard, the road was not opened for use after it was completed.
"Yes, my Lord. The road was completed a week ago, but it was not opened yet. You know the reason."
Fiona helplessly spread her hands. "The caravans going back and forth between Ellington and Bein could not wait to pay the toll and use the new road. However, because of the current situation, they can only go back the way they came."
Tang En did not pay attention to Gary's construction team. He asked curiously, "How did Gary prevent those people from getting on the road halfway? Adding railings? "
There were toll booths at both ends of the road, but there were no toll booths in the middle. If it was a flat road, it would be difficult to stop those people from getting on unless they added railings.
Fiona's mouth twitched. "Almost, but it's even more exaggerated."
"What do you mean?"
Aurelia said with a bitter smile. "I saw the engineering drawings they gave me. I really … have nothing to say."
Tang En had a baffled look on his face.
Fiona sighed and said, "I can only say that the goblins found a golden thigh … After they fixed a section of the road, they asked the Dragons to use magic to solidify a tunnel above the road. In other words, after leaving Ellington, the entire road is sealed in the tunnel, and there is no way to go up or down halfway."
The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched. "How do we solve the lighting problem inside? Light crystal? "
If Jia Lian were to buy the light crystals, it would be a good deal.
"No, there is a net-like gap at the top of the tunnel. Light can shine in during the day, and fluorescent grass is planted on both sides of the road at night."
"It's actually Fluorescent Grass … How stingy!"
Tang En was speechless. Although the fluorescent grass was also purchased from Ellington, it was obviously not as profitable as the light crystals.
At this moment, Tang En suddenly slapped his forehead. "What about the towns along the way? Reserve an exit? "
"Yes, they reserved an exit, and Jia Lian also said that he would build a toll booth here in the future."
After saying that, Fiona reminded Tang En, "My Lord, regarding the manpower arrangement at the toll booths in the future, we can't let the goblins occupy all of them. At least one person from the Datang Chamber of Commerce should be at a toll booth. Otherwise, they are likely to falsify the accounts."
With the greedy nature of the goblins and Dragons, they might really do this …
"I understand. Just remember to make arrangements for this matter."
Tang En directly threw this matter to Fiona.
Fiona smiled bitterly. "I don't have time recently. The Datang Chamber of Commerce's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people. It's very exhausting to manage. There's also Ellington's various administrative arrangements, and now there's the various matters of the spring planting. If it wasn't for Tina taking care of Kaspari's matter, I think I would have gone crazy …"
Aurelia opened her mouth, but swallowed her words. At this moment, Tang En casually said, "If you're too busy, just share the workload. Isn't Aurelia quite leisurely? Just leave this matter to her."
Fiona had the same idea. Although she was very unwilling to hand over the power in her hands, Aurelia was after all the princess of Irus. For the sake of the Lord's future, it was best to rope Aurelia in. She had deliberately said this in front of Tang En and Aurelia to remind Tang En.
Tang En did not think so much, and Fiona had hit the nail on the head.
"Leave it to me?"
Aurelia had just wanted to share some of Tang En's burden, but she was in a very awkward position now, so she was too embarrassed to say it.
"That's right, it's you."
Tang En waved his hand and said straightforwardly, "The administrative affairs consume too much of Fiona's energy, and you happen to be an expert in this area. In the future, the relevant administrative affairs in Ellington's territory will be handed over to you. The arrangement and distribution of personnel, the resettlement of immigrants, and so on. As for the finance, since it's related to the Datang Chamber of Commerce, let Fiona be in charge. If you have any needs, you can discuss it with her directly."
After thinking for a while, Tang En said, "In addition, this year's spring planting will also be handed over to you."
In fact, the agriculture, industry, and commerce all needed someone to be in charge. The finance of the industry and commerce would be handed over to Fiona, and the internal affairs of the agriculture would be handed over to Aurelia. The industry might need someone to be in charge, but there was no one available at the moment, so it could only be handed over to Fiona for the time being.
As for Tina, she was now mainly responsible for the problems in Kasparmi's territory. She had to go back and forth between Ellington and Kasparmi's territory every day, so she had no extra energy to be in charge of other things.
In terms of the industry, the most suitable person was actually Brian or Nokia, but they were currently focused on research and did not have time to manage the factories. The management of the factories added up to hundreds and thousands of people, so the two of them did not have the time to recognize people.
As for the military, Depp and Locke were very good candidates. Depp was very diligent and eager to learn, and his current performance was very good. Locke used to be a mercenary commander, so he had some experience in management, so he could rest assured that they would be in charge. As for Elsa, she was more suitable to be a warrior who charged into the enemy lines, not a leader.
"By the way, My Lord, there's one more thing I need to report to you."
Fiona suddenly remembered something very important. "The school has been built according to your request. When would you like to take a look? I'll arrange for the students to enter the school. "
"School! Yes! "
Tang En clapped his hands. "Leave the education aspect to Auri. You focus on the industry, business, and finance."
Fiona nodded and did not have any complaints.
Aurelia tilted her head, looking puzzled. "School? Is it an academy? "
"Not an academy. It's just a school for now, but it's not certain in the future."
Tang En smiled. "It's a place where compulsory education is universal. Education must be focused on from a young age."
"Compulsory education? What's that? "
Aurelia was even more confused.
"It's a fair and legal right to education. In my opinion, the right to education is a basic right of every citizen."
Tang En briefly explained the importance of education to her, especially the impact of knowledge on thinking and the role it played in promoting society. After listening to his words, Aurelia was deeply shocked.
She did not expect Tang En to think so far ahead!
Before this, education was a privilege of the nobles. Only the rich and powerful had the right to enjoy education. As for the peasants? Having no thoughts was the best result.
But Tang En had opened a brand new door for her.
Education could popularize the written language and basic knowledge, improve the quality of the citizens, and at the same time, improve the overall strength of the territory. With culture, there would be thoughts. A person with thoughts would be able to exert the greatest value.
"In fact, if Victor wants to reform, he only needs to reform education."
Tang En shook his head. "A person with thoughts will not be so easily enslaved. People will increasingly understand how unreasonable the exploitation of them by the nobles is. When this pressure accumulates to a certain extent, the people will spontaneously overthrow the rule of the nobles —"
Fiona's face changed slightly. "My Lord!"
Tang En was stunned. Looking at the surprised Aurelia, he came back to his senses and realized that he had said something inappropriate.
Although Victor and Aurelia belonged to the royal faction, they were still part of the privileged class. The struggle with the nobles was just a competition between each other. But to have the people overthrow the nobles' privileges … This was something that Victor had probably never thought of.
"Pretend I didn't say anything."
Tang En shrugged. "In short, education is very important. We must pay close attention to it."
"I understand."
Aurelia looked deeply at Tang En. If she didn't already know that he was the savior of the world, perhaps Aurelia would have thought that he was an ambitious person who wanted to rebel.
Using education to overthrow the privileged class … This idea was too scary.
"Since the school has been completed, then I can fulfill my promise with Izali."
Tang En stood up and said. "I'll go find her now and bring back the grain seeds. Olga, go to the research institute and find Pamela. Ask her about the progress of the basic courses. I'll start arranging the school's basic courses later."
"Understood."
After confirming the mission again, Tang En went directly to the Jade Corolla.
After greeting Mathilda, who was standing guard and reading comics, Tang En went straight into the Queen's Palace. A moment later, he found Izali, who was in a daze.
Today, Izali wasn't wearing the luxurious queen's dress. Instead, she was wearing very casual clothes. She was sitting on a rattan chair with her head tilted. No one knew what she was thinking. Her mouth kept muttering some vague elven language.
At this time, she suddenly felt Tang En's presence. She was startled and a blush flashed across her face. Then, she quickly suppressed it and turned around with a gentle smile. "Miss me?"
Tang En was speechless, but seeing her expectant look, he didn't know what to say. He just nodded. "Yes."
Izali found that she was actually a little happy. She suddenly pushed Tang En to the ground and said with a happy face, "I'm so happy … Let's have a child? Okay? "
Tang En could not open his mouth at all as his face was pressed against her chest. Looking at the shoulder strap that had slipped off and the snow-white skin in front of him, Tang En was devastated when he realized that his younger brother had not been taught a lesson and was reacting again!
Izali's face was filled with happiness. She didn't know why, but she felt inexplicably happy when she smelled Tang En's scent.
"Your majesty … Tang En?"
His vision darkened. Tang En's gaze moved up. White legs, fluttering skirt, and …
Then he saw Aiguin's shocked face.
